The story talks about a young boy known as Cloud who aspired to become the greatest pilgrim warrior in Agaroth (the first warrior realm of mankind) despite his flaws, however there is more that meets the eyes as Agaroth is on the brink of extinction...
In the grey leafed forest, Izaiya was found surrounded by plentiful hivelings but despite the numbers, Izaiya stared at them nonchalantly. "Izaiya of the Ripar tribe of Agaroth, you were the one that encouraged the humans to fight harder in this futile battle!" A hiveling male said. "Hm?" Izaiya said with a raised brow. "Trying to act all cool, right? Isn't it what you humans usually say?" Another male hiveling asked while smiling with a raised eyebrow, "Well, i'll give you something cool..." "I'll kill you on the spot and make an example out of you!!" The male hiveling said as he charged towards Izaiya. The sound of a crunching attack resonated and a gum fell on the floor with the teeth scattered abroad; the hiveling dropped on the ground with his left eye twitching, leaving the other hivelings shocked at what they had witnessed. "Good grief, don't be in a hurry. After all, there is no need to rush what is coming, right?" Izaiya asked with his head slightly bent. "Uh... What just happened?" A female hiveling asked. "I don't know." A male hiveling answered, "He just ran towards the human and that was it. The human didn't make a move, neither did he use his kan ability of 'Soul body manifestation'." "Oh? I thought you knew everything about me?" Izaiya asked, "This goes to show how small your brains are. Ever heard the saying of teaching you everything you know, but not everything 'i' know? You see, you hivelings thought because you managed to get information on how we fight, you will be able to take us down, not considering there may be more that meets the eye. But i should give you the benefit of the doubt, after all, you did manage to infiltrate Keigra..." "With help." Izaiya said with a smile, "There was no way you would be able to do half of what you have done without some insiders and someone holding your heads. This makes me wonder how you even managed to take on the Urokai race." "Do not insult us, human." A female hiveling with a black hair said while scowling with glowing eyes. "I'm not insulting you, i'm just questioning your competence." Izaiya replied while smiling with closed eyes as he was discharging his green aura, "But enough talk, let's continue from where we stopped." "Dahmu." Izaiya said with a darkened voice. Izaiya's green aura formed the face of a disfigured monster and the monster lets out a roar that caused Izaiya's aura to explode and create a strong breeze that made the hivelings shield their eyes. As soon as the breeze had cleared, the hivelings sights a big manlike monster behind Izaiya with a pitch black face whom green flames had overwhelmed most of it's head as the fire takes the form of a dome, leaving his face with no ears, nose or neck; the monster was wearing a grey top within and had a spiky black high collared overcoat with pointed shoulders and green flames spraying out of the top of them and was wearing black trousers while it's hands and boots were covered in green flames. The monster lets out another roar that made some of the hivelings quiver while Izaiya smirked. "This, my bug friends, is Dahmu." Izaiya said as he points his thumb at Dahmu, "Though he is a tough looking guy, he is a bit shy. Dahmu, would you like to greet your new friends?" "Dahmu! Dahmu!" Dahmu replied with an ominous voice as he slams his fists against each other. "So this is Izaiya's soul body manifestation?" The black haired female hiveling asked within, "The pressure coming from that thing is more than what we expected." "Humph. That's a nice looking thing you got there." The black haired female hiveling said to Izaiya with a smile, "Feeling the pressure of that thing, anyone stupid enough to charge recklessly at it, would only end up getting themselves killed, but with all that power we are feeling from it, do not forget we know your weaknesses." "That's right. We know every weakness of you and that thing and with us having the numbers advantage, we can easily bring you down." The hiveling female said as her smile grew wider, "Your soul body manifestation is somewhat similar to Govo but unlike Govo who is capable of creating different clones of his soul and using them to battle, you can only create one clone and reshape it; but seriously, of all things to shape your cloned soul into, it's that? You seem to have an odd imagination. Humph. I can't help but wonder if that thing there is a liability or an asset." "Hm?" Izaiya said as he stared at her in a slightly confused manner. "Kan deepens with age and from what we have gotten, as you get older, most of your physical capabilities goes to that thing, meaning that thing becomes more powerful at the cost of you the user being vulnerable to stronger foes." The black haired hiveling girl said while still smiling, "No matter how strong that thing is, if we kill the user then it will die... Right? The reason you were able to take out the one that ran at you without moving an inch was because you were already on guard and that thing defended you despite it not being fully summoned; i could tell, after all, i had a part in knocking you out." The black haired hiveling girl had a quick recollection of her and other hivelings staring down at the unconscious Izaiya. "Yes, what a beautiful moment." The girl said with a smile after the recollection, "You gave a message to the other humans to give everything they've got in order to survive but the truth is, it doesn't matter what they give, because as long as we know all their weaknesses, we can bring them down... Just like you." "Now!!" The hiveling girl ordered as her eyes glowed. Many of the hivelings fired an energy blast from their palms at once towards Izaiya but Dahmu quickly used both of his arms to shield Izaiya from the attack, however as this was happening, several of the hivelings advanced towards Izaiya; some in the front, some from behind and some in mid air. "This is it! While these warriors are keeping that arrogant human busy with their kan blasts, we can use that opportunity to strike him down with either our fists, feet or nonphysical attacks; i for one would like to punch that arrogant look out of his....!" The girl paused in her thoughts as she noticed the smug smirk across Izaiya's face and to her shock, Dahmu grew out four other arms. "Huh?" The hiveling girl said with widened eyes. "Dahmu!" Dahmu said as one of his fist impacted a thunderous hit on her cheek which made blood spill out of her mouth. "Dahmu! Dahmu! Dahmu! Dahmu! Dahmu! Dahmu! Dahmu! Dahmu! Dahmu! Dahmu! Dahmu! Dahmu! Dahmu! Dahmu! Dahmu! Dahmu! Dahmu! Dahmu! Dahmu! Dahmu!" Dahmu said as he was releasing a barrage of hardcore punches on the face, cheeks and jaws of hivelings. "Dahmu!!!!" Dahmu said as he lands a final face punch on a hiveling that sent him flying while screaming in pain. The hiveling bounced on the ground repeatedly and died as he crashed face-first on a tree. After Dahmu had finished wrecking the hivelings that charged at Izaiya, Izaiya shortly stared at the hivelings laying on the ground and strokes his short messy black hair. "It seems ones that attacked with kan blasts were knocked down by the hivelings Dahmu sent flying." Izaiya said inwardly, "Seriously, are they that weak?" "... But i can't deny Dahmu didn't pull any of his punches." Izaiya said as he glanced back at the several hivelings that laid on the ground, "The impact of Dahmu's hits were not only enough to take out the ones that came at me but they were also powerful enough to use his victims as a means of knocking out the other attackers." The groan of a masculine voice sounded and Izaiya quickly sights the person to be a deep blue haired hiveling male who happened to be on the ground and holding his cheek in pain. The hiveling lifts his head and sees Izaiya standing in his front. "Pl-please, have mercy." The hiveling begged as he stood on his knees with both hands cupped. "Huh? What is the meaning of this?" Izaiya asked, "Weren't you guys the ones that tried to kill me earlier? Now you are asking for mercy? By the way, you honestly thought i wouldn't notice what was going on? When that hiveling was talking to me, she was actually trying to stall and keep my attention on her while telling you guys what to do with kan communication of the heart. Seriously, that's one of the oldest trick in the book and now your comrades are down, you resort to begging for your life?" "Please! Please!!" The hiveling begged. "And how many humans begged the way you are begging right now? Did you listen to their pleas?" Izaiya asked. "Please, i have a family!" The hiveling said, "A mother! A father! A little brother and sister! I was the only one chosen in my family to be a warrior!" "Those humans had families too." Izaiya replied. "Please, i was just following orders!" The hiveling said as he fell on his face and bowed himself before Izaiya, "I have nothing personal against you humans and i promise to stop and leave here if you spare my life! Please forgive me!!!" Izaiya stared at the hiveling shortly and turned his back to leave. Just as Izaiya walks away, the hiveling takes notice and slightly smiles. "He actually fell for it." The hiveling said inwardly, "Fool. No matter how strong you are, you don't turn your back on your enemy unless he or she is completely down." "Thank you. Thank you so much for this!" The hiveling said as he was quietly standing back up on his feet. "I'll take my leave and head back home!!" The hiveling said as he engulfed one of his hands with his aura and sprints towards Izaiya to stab him with his four fingers. To the shock of the hiveling, his attack was halted and Dahmu appears holding his hand from making contact with Izaiya. "How predictable." Izaiya said as he glanced back at the hivelings with glowing eyes. Dahmu easily crushed the hiveling's hand which made the hiveling shriek in pain and jolt back. At the time the hiveling holding his hand in pain, the hiveling falls on one knee while Izaiya stood in his front and was staring down at him. "You made a vow and broke it, yet you hivelings have the gulls to call humans despicable." Izaiya said. "Don't you judge me, you trash human!" The hiveling angrily said as he quickly stood on his feet and was glaring at Izaiya. "You're the trash and right now i'm about to beat you like the trash you are." Izaiya replied with a cold stare. The hiveling stepped back in shock as Dahmu grew bigger and drew out numerous arms which had flaming spikes on each of his knuckles. "Eh...?" The hiveling said with a wtf face. "H-h-hold on, maybe i was being too impulsive, let's try to talk this out." The hiveling said while sweating and smiling nervously, "Y-yeah, i was being too impulsive. You see i usually have this issue of acting without thinking and because of that, many people in my race label me as a blockhead, so you see..." Despite the pleas of the hiveling, Izaiya was glaring at him coldly, thus increasing the fear of the hiveling. "I... I have a family to go back to." The hiveling said, "My parents and my siblings are waiting for me back home..." Seeing Izaiya was unmoved by his pleas, the hiveling quickly dropped to his knees to beg. "MERCY-!" "Dahmu!" Dahmu said as he interrupts the hiveling with a swift punch to the face. "Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!" Dahmu said as he was releasing a series of punches on the hiveling. In the middle of Dahmu unloading on the hiveling, Dahmu swiftly used two of his arms to hold the arms of the hiveling. "Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!Dahmu!" Dahmu said as he quickly resumes his assault. "Dahmuuuuu!!!" Dahmu said as he lands one final punch that ripped off the hiveling's arms and sent him flying back while leaving a rift on the ground in the process. The leaves from the trees were descending to the ground while Izaiya was staring at his fingernails with an apathetic look. "Trash." Izaiya said. "Let's go, Dahmu." Izaiya said as he turns his back to walk away. "Dahmu." Dahmu said.
